County Convention.
Tho Democratic Convention called
specially to nmontl tho rulca of nomina
tion In this county, nssoinbled nt tho
Court Houso on Monday last. A codo
was adopted with rare unanimity,
which w do not doubt will glvo per
fect satisfaction, and which will hereaf
ter prevent all division, bickering and
disaffection of any character. It will
bo seen that tho cumulativo or freo
voting plan is applied. Not only the
majority in overy district will therefore
bo hereafter represented, but tho ml
norltlfs nlso ovory Democrat will, or
may if ho attends to it, bo fully repro
sentcd. Tho aggregate will of tho ma
Jorlfy, thus clearly ascertained, has n
right to respect and Its decisions will bo
regarded by all who havo tho intensts
of tho great party truly at heart. Wo
print the proceedings In full, and also
a tablo showing tho numbrr of dele
gates to which each district will bo en
titled until a now appointment is made
after tho next Governor's election. As
no provision was mado to publish tho
new rules In any other form, It may bo
well to preservo this paper for futuro
reference.
It will bo seen also that a radical
change has been mado in tho represen
tation of districts in Convention, and
that sundry rules to securo fairness in
nominations havo been adontcd.
Tho Urno for holding tho annual Con
vention is Used upon tho second Tues
day of August, Just two months before
tuo dato of tho general elections, and
that is probably as good a time as could
bo selected. Tho manner of choosing
mo oianutng uommitteo Is changed and
tho number largely increased, but tho
quorum is uxeti at so small a number
that the business of the Committee can
at all times bo convenientlv transacted.
Tho provisions against fraud seem to
be Judicious and although stringent can
not bo complained of rs they aro mado
prospective nntl apply only to tho fu
ture. Tho samo remark will apply to
tho rules which deprive candidates and
voters of certain privileges in case of
tneir opposition to party nominations.
A reasonable amount of discipline is
necessary to tho union, strength and
success of a party.
But, as wo havo already mentioned,
the important changes mado are in the
basis of representation and in tho man
ner of electing delegates. Districts aro
to bo represented In Convention accord
ing to their party vote, but no district
shall havo less than two or more than
four delegates. Upon an exact appor
tionment upon a ratio of GO votes to a
delegate, ilvo districts would have but
ono delegate each. Theso districts aro
Berwick, Montour, Franklin, Itoaring
creek and South Conyngham, the two
first of which aro only a littlo over tho
ratio for one delegate while tho others
fall below it. But it was supposed that
taking away ono delegate from each of
those districts would produce dlsjatis
faction, while allowing them two each,
would only glvo Ave more votes in Con
vention out of a total of sixty-seven.
This would but slightly disturb tho
geutral result. Independent of this
slight over-representation of small dis
tricts, the apportionment will ho based
Btrictly upon tlw principle of number
(allowance! being mado for majority
fractions of a ratio) aud will bo com
pletely just. Tho result will bo that
Locust and Fishingcreck will have 4
delegates each and all tho other districts
2 or 3 each, according to their-Demo-cratlcvote.
But the delegations from
the larger districts will ordinarily bo
divided between candidates in cases of
contest, under tho operation of tho 6th
rulo, so that thoso districts will not
havo unduo power or absolute control
in Conventions.
Speaker of tho Senate.
A Harrlsburg correspondent of tho
Philadelphia Press is distressing him
self over tho imaginary rivalry between
Messrs. Buckai.ew and Wallace
about tho Speakership of tho Senate.
Ho can make his mind perfectly easy
andoleepin peacu. It is well known
amougst Mr. B'u friends hero that ho
ticcopted a seat in tho Senate in order
to labor in tho causo of electoral reform
and for no purposo of personal rivalry
or ambition. Tho editor of tho Press
well knows, If his correspondent does
not, that tho person nominated at tho
end of tho session is always adopted by
his party at the ensuing session as their
candidate. Mr. "Wallace was tho can
didate of tho Democracy at tho close of
the last session, and will no doubt bo
again supported for that position by ac-
emulation if he does not decllno It.
Under these circumstances, all snecu
latlon as to difficulty in tho organlza-
lion is iuio.
Death of John XX. Orth, Esq.
The last Clinton Democrat brings us
tno unwelcomo and unexpected now
of the death of Joun II. Oiitii, Esn,
ono of tho proprietor of that paper.
and ono of tho most useful citizens of
Lock Ilaveu. Mr. Orth was for more
than cfght years In tho employ of the
present editor of tho Columbian (then
proprietor of tho Clinton Democrat)
during which time ho had entire chargo
of tho largo busluess of that establish
mont, which ho conducted with ade'rco
of ability and Integrity that coinman
ded thsdilghest public regard and con
lldouce, as well as tho respect und grato
ful good-will of his employer, ilo had
fuw If any enemies, while his f. lends
were numbered by the extent of his
acquaintance. Ho was always a weak
ly man physically and died at tho early
ago of about 10 year His remains
wero taken to Harrlsburg for luterlnunt
GlUTZ Bkown told a few wholesome
truths nt a compllmontary serenade
given by him by his political friends In
St. Louis the other oveniug. Among
other things, addressing tho veteran
Union soldiers present, he said:
Soldiers Wherever I havo irone in
the canvass of this great State I havo
ever tounu mat tnose wno uoro mo
brunt of battle were tho first to extend
therlghthaudof reconciliation prompt
to forget all Animosity, and to consign
to oblivion obsolete Issues, bygone phra
seology, past nomenclature. It was on
ly those who held high carnival In the
rear that would still prolong tho note
of discord, hoping for continued pll
Jase. This pointed rebuko of ultra Radi
cals, who oppose the enfranchisement
of whites when tho same prlvilogo was
bestowed upon the blacks, was well
timed and well merited.
Cbrlstmai.
Christmas was not colebratod aa tho
feast of Christ's birth in tho first cen
turies of tho Christian Church. When
first celebrated, different days wero set
npartby different authorities for that
purposo tho Eastern Church fixing tho
Oth of January. In tho Gth century,
tho Western Church ordered it to bo
celebrated forever on tho day of tho old
Kotnan feast of tho birth of Sol, tho
20th of December, though no informa
tion respecting tho day of Christ's birth
existed. "Among tho nuuorom festi
vals of tho Homan Calondar, that ono
called tho Saturnalia, or feast in honor
of Saturn, was by far tho most promi
nent nnd Important. It occurred on
tho 2oth of December, and was celebra
ted much after tho fashion of our pres.
ent Christmas. It was originally an
Etruscan holiday, nnd borrowed evi
dently from tho nations who afterwards
under tho tiamo of Ooths, played so im
portant n part in the history of tho
world. Tho Etruscans, or Etrurians,
wero doubtless from tho samo stock as
tho Goths, as is evidenced by their
many resomblances to that people.
When after tho formal declaration by
tho ltoman Senate- in favor of Christi
anity, tho birthday of our Saviour was
mado a genoral holiday, and from a
variety of causes tho 23th of December
was finally settled upon as tho anniver
sary of His birth, all tho genoral rejoic
ing of tho Saturnalia was incorporated
into Christmas, and thus tho wildest
honors paid to a heathen Deity were
transferred to tho worship of thoSonof
God. When tho Gothic and Teutonic
nations conquered and dismembered tho
Roman empire, they incorporated their
own observances of this season with tho
customs of tho Saturnalia, and the va
rious ordinances attached to tho dav
fioni tho Greek and Eastern phlloso
phles. Aud thus tho Christmas of
Christian nations becamo a mosaic of
many customs nnd ordinances.
But it was In England in old days
that tho observance of this season was
most celebrated. An Abbot of Unrea
son and a Lord of Misrulo wero appoint
ed to conduct tho festivities. Tho big
punch bowl was brought out, and tho
wild bolls of tho birthright rang out
their merry peans to tho universal Joy.
Tho sacred mlstletoo was put over tho
door-post, under its mystic seal tho kiss
of lovo was given by tho merry revel
lcrs. In tho days of tho Roman Satur
nalia tho slaves wero allowed tho most
perfect liberty, and-for tho tlmo being
tho relative positions of master and ser
vant were changed. In England and
among the Gothic nations almost the
samo license was allowed, 'and on the
2oth of December tho proudest and fair
est heiress of the haughty lines of
Neville, of Claro, and of Cholmondely
did not think it beneath her dignity to
danco in tho great hall with sorao hum
bio retainer of her family. 'Peaca on
earth, good will to men,' spoken 1870
years ago, lias been on this day univer
sally observed."
Thoexcelleut custom of making pres
ents on Christmas ovo is derived from
an old heathen mage.ln voguoamongst
tho ancient Germans, but it has become
concecrated by ages and contributes a
great deal to raako this festival an in
teresting event to families. In Ger
many tho custom provails most, per-
vaulng all tho clas-ses and relations of
society. In somu German churches.
sermons art) delivered on Christmas ovu
for tho benefit of children who uttend
carrying each a littlu taper. In tho
Catholic church, tho offieium pastorum
Is sung, in which a chorus of children
respond to tho priest.
At tho prosont time, Christinas is ob
served to somo extont, in somo manner,
byall Christian churches and whorovcr
tho Christian iufluenco is felt,by nearly
all people. To this, however, tho sour
soulcd Puritans were, and to somo ox
tent still are, nn oxcoption.thoy regard
lng as sinful overy thing that is pleas
urable except their own desire to see
punishment inflicted. "On earth peace,
good will toward men" or as tho
Catholics havo it: "On earth peace to
all men of good will" Is a sentiment
which peculiarly governs tho obser
vanco of Christmas overy whoro, and
from which Is dorlved its titlo of
"Merry Christmas."
XHCorals of Radical Congressmen.
Tho Now York Tribune says:
TheXLIst Congressjs not likely to
go down to history with a commenda
ble reputation for good morals. Two
of Its members have been expelled for
selling cadetships, ono resigned to es
cape expulsion, three or four others got
ofl ouly by tho hard swearing of their
accomplices, ono has convicted himself
of attempting to procure counterfeit
money to nassamonc tho noor negroes.
ono is charged with cheating soldiers'
widows out of their pensions, nnd now
tho indictment of another for bigamy
is reported.
The fellows who are thus held up to
scorn are members ol "the party of
great moral Ideas."
Tuoais of tho miners of Luzerno
county who voted tho Radical ticket
last fall and brought defeat on the De
mocracy, nro receiving their reward
now from tho principal organ of tho
Radical party, tho New York Tribune,
In a receut Issuo it said :
"Tho strlko of tho coal minora in
Pennsylvania is not a serious one, yet
It will bo used, we daresay, asan excuse
tor auvancing the price ot coal to con
sutners in the large cities. This is tho
shallow trick which Is played at tho
oeginmngor overy winter, it deceives
no one, but swindles a great many.''
deorgla to Grant Orcotlngl
At the recent election in Georgia,
notwithstanding tho fact that President
Gkant sent largo numbers of Federal
troops Into the State to encourngo tho
"pet lambs" nnd Carpet-baggers, the
Democrats havoelected flvoout of seven
members of Congress and a largo taa
jorlty of the Legislature, which secures
the election of another Democratic U,
S. Senator,
Ahead. The North American says
-that Pennsylvania leads the van of
States In actual iucreaso of population,
hor absolute gain being 079,000, while
tho largest gain In any othor Stato is
Illinois, 707,205, followed by Missouri,
521,009: Iowa, 502,005, and Now York,
490,000. Our gain in Pennsylvania if
this statement be correct is inoro than
twice that of Now York and inoro than
ono hundred thousand beyond that of
Illinois. Tliis is some whit of a surprise
to us, ns wo presume it will bo to the
nation.
L
Tuir.E will be fivo negroes In tho
next Congress. Not much honor to be
a Oongrpssrar-n In theso times.
Tho rirst Senatorial District.
Tho groat Democratic triumph in tho
first Senatorial district is tho herald of
what is to como. It noutralizoi tho po
lllical power of this Stato in such man
ner ns to glvo fair apportionments, and,
to n great oxtout, duo reprojontation to
eacii political party In Congress and In
tho Stato Legislature Tho election
frauds of 1803, 18G4, and 1809, when tho
Democracy woro cheatod out or their
victories, con not therefore bo repeated,
nnd when wo carry elections heroaftcr
wo will reap tho advantages of success.
Thcro nro lessons In tho result of tho
election In tho first district. A malu
causo of Col. Decumit's success Is un
questionably tho fact that by education,
uxperlonco and personal character ho
was a fit man for the place Was emi
nently qualified for tho position. Ills
own party was unanimous In his sup
port for this reason for this reason ma
ny Republicans supported him and ma
ny others witnheld their votes from his
opponent, and for this reason nil who
wero not governed by strong partisan
feelings supported him. Why will not
all parties overy whero, then, heed this
lesson, and for tho mero sake of success
nomlnato their most rcspectablo and
best qualified citizens for offlco? Wo
nroovldcntly on tho ovo of tho tlmos
when rogues and incompetents must
stand asldo when thoy will bo weak
candidates suro to bring defeat and
when peoplo will solcct candidates as
they do agents or employeos : for their
fitno33 to do tho business doslred nnd
their Integrity In nil things. No man
willingly employs a roguo to do his pri
vate businoss, and ho is himself a roguo
oranasswho voluntarily entrusts his
public business to such. When any
sensible man has work to do ho cm-
ploys a man who by practlco has proved
himself fit to do that kiud of work
well; Why should not tho rulo apply
with equal forco to public affairs? Tho
peopio oi tno nrst district havo set n
wlso oxamplo let all others profit by It.
Notwithstanding his largo official
majority of 1301, extraordinary precau
tions had to bo taken to prevent Col.
Deciieht from being cheated out of tho
election. Injunctions woro obtained
from thosovoral Courts compelling tho
return judges to mako fair returns nnd
to add them all proporly togothor, and
then to givo tho certlflcaco of election
to tho person thus appearing to havo
tho highest number of votes. This gave
tho Courts power over tho whole sub
ject nnd compelled honest action on the
part of tho board of return judges. But
for this precaution Col. Deciikkt would
no doubt havo been cheated out of his
seat, as Mr. Diamond was last year,
from tho samo district. It Is something
to know that tho Courts can ami will
control corrupt election officers and
force them to do their duties in nn hon
est way.
tVnother fact is proven : Tho people,
ovon partisau people, want to seo fair
apportionments. Many Republicans,
very many, desired Col. Deciiert's
election because it would compel a fair
apportionment. Let politicians and
legislators profit by this example. In
all theirefforts to get up apportionments
they will do well to koep this admoni
tion uppermost in their minds.
Conservatism.
It may bo worth while to consider tho
fact occasionally that Conservatism,
however rcspectablo and wise, was nev
er popular in tho United States. ' Tho
most radical of parties has ever tri
umphed over its rival in Federal poll
tics. Neither public interests, nor
customs, uor Constitutions, nor experi
ence, nor morality, nor all combined,
nor reason, nor philosophy, nor danger,
havo over provon sufficient as barriers
to thwart or even stay tho headlong
courso of tho party that professed tho
most advanced radicalism. Wo do no't
maintain that this is right only that
our history proves it to bo fact an' im
perious fact that deserves observation
and consideration and is perhaps an
evil that ought to bo guarded against.
Federalism was conservative Democ
racy was a radical experiment aud in
novation upon former precedent. And
Democracy drove Its rival out of exist
ence, and maintained its power against
all conservative competitors until a
rival more radical appeared on tho
scene. Sheer accident gavo that rival
its first victory and placed tho Federal
government In its power but its ad
vanced and oven destructive radicalism,
and open fraud as a part and tho climax
of that radicalism, maintained it in
power until our government was not
only chauged but revolutionized. That
this particular form of radicalism can
not last long from mero want of ad
heslon is sufficiently patent, but as lovo
for tho extromo prevails, will It not
oventually bo supplanted by something
still In advance of all former parties In
tho profession o extravagant Ideas?
Tho French ha. never been ablo to
malntalu a Republic and probably
never win for this very reason.
The dependence of tho American peo-
pio is upon tneir assumed superior In
telllgence. If thoy possess this virtue
It may bo sufficient for their purpose,
but it may bo well for them to bear in
minil that this rnro excellence is not
universally accorded to them, Is oven
denied, nnd may possibly bo an halucl
nation. But whatever may bo truo in
that regard, it can not but bo apparent
to every ouo who looks around him
that they aro not a very reflective peo
ple, that go-aheadltlveness is an over
powering element in their character,
that they bend almost overy energy to
tho making of money and to maintain
oxtravagauco in living, und that their
minds ure more intent in that direction
than In considering and mastering nb
struso problems in political philosophy
and public morals. It may bo conclu
ded, therefore, that this undefined and
unadmitted claim to intelligence is not
altogether -a suro relianco, aud that it
behoves all peoplo to strive further for
intelligence and to think deeply upon
overy matter of public concern and
then to act solely fron noble aspirations
und patriotic Impulses. Tho fondness
for extreme ought not to rulo, ought to
be checked aud destroyed, nnd an car-
nest desiro to do right ought to tako its
placo.
Nor have wo, by any means, undoubt
ed faith lu conservatism. Progress and
advancement nro better things when
fully considered aud rightly applied.
No stand still policy can over prevail
amongst a freo and energotlc people.
They force change aud excogltato new
wants aud new vices, dovelopo new
virtues and powers nover occupy an
even plain but advauco upward or ro-
trogrado downward and will thus ever
' render now measured and new Ideas
necessary. But thoso need not nccos
Barly bo either radical or conservative
ns n general rulo of action, and, ns lu
nearly every thing clso, a sober, sub
stantial and well defined medium Is
tho safest and surest, nnd effects tho
most wlso and enduring good to nil.

IlAltillsnuita, Dec. 17, 1870.
To the Editor of tho ColiimliKn I
In continuation of tho subject of Leg
islative reform, I would respectfully
suggest to tho Reform Convention, the
following nmcmMient : "Tho members
of tho Legislature shall bo paid by tho
day, and shall receive pay only for each
day, Including Sundnys, In which they
shall bo employed at the Beat of Gov
ernment, in tho performance of their
Lcglslntlvo duties."
"Each Legislature shall fix, by law,
tho dally pay of tho tm mbers or tho
Legislature next following It. Tho
yeas and nays shall bu called, upon tho
passago of thonfbresald lawund shall bu
published in nt least one newspaper
printed in each county of tho Com
monwealth dining tho week Immedi
ately preceding tho rollowlng general
election."
It is to ho hoped that Iho adoption of
this proposed amendment, will bring
back the (-esslons or our Legislature to
that degrco or stability and permanen
cy necessary to n calm investigation of
thogravn mutters submitted to their
consideration, and that tho representa
tives or the peoplo instead or twice in
each week appearing in the streets of
Harrlsburg, In the nomadlo character
of traveling railroad menageries or of
wandering tribes of carpet baggers,
will resume tho sober aud rcspectablo
deportment of American citizens, en
gaged In tho performance of the high
est and most responsible duties which
could bo entrusted tothom by thclrcon-
tiding fellow cltlzons.
Tho Senators and Representatives be
ing, by tho above amendment, paid bv
tho day, It will become necessary to
limit tho duration of tho Legislatlvo
sesslous, ns follows: "Tho regular
sessions of tho Lcgislnturo shall termi
nate on tho 31st day of March, in every
year, unless sooner adjourned by Joint
resolution of both Houses." In order
to euro our Representatives of the er
ratic habits they havo acquired, un
der tho corrupting inlluenco of freo
railroad passes, I would suggest the fol
lowing amendment to tho 17th section
of the first article of tho prer-cut Con
stitution. "Neither Umi-e nhall, with
out tho consent of the other, aUJourn
Tor moro than one day nor to any other
placo than that In which tho two Hous
es shall bosltting." To securo economy
and to put a stop to tho annual creation
of numerous sinecures by each House,
to roward partlzan loafers, I would pro
poso tho following amendment to tho
11th section of tho first article of tho
present Constitution, to wit: "Ench
Houso shall chooso its speaker and oth
er officers and the number of officers to
be employed in either House shall be de
termined, the yeas and nays being called,
by not less than two thirds of all the
members constituting the body of the
House, and the Senate shall also chooso
a Speaker pro tern when tho Speaker
shall exercise tho offlco of Governor."
Not ono out of a thousand who lives
at a dlstanco from tho seat of Govern
ment can realize the number of Legisla
tlvo sinecures which this amendment
is intended to wipe out. Besides the
Sergeant at Arms and door keepers for
each House, there seems of Into no
other limit to tho number of their as
sistants than tho claims or hungry
partizan expectants. Tho samo may bo
said or messengers and their assistants;
Post Masters and their assistants. Then
comes tho grand army or pasters, with
nothing to paste ; and those valiant and
incorruptiblo patriots whoso in valuablo
services at tho polls entitle them to the
dignity of guards at tho doors of Cloa
clna's Temple, where, with tissue paper
in hand, they humbly minister to tho
ease of their magnificent Legislative
benefactors, for the moderato sum of
seven hundred dollars persession I Then
to fill up tho measure of Legislative
munificence, follow, rank on rank,
tho battalions of washer women, useful
in more ways than one, and sufficient,
in point of numbers, to bestow a
snow whito purity, not only upon tho
most secret recesses of tho Capital, but
upon the consciences of its numerous
inmates! There Is a redeeming spice
or charity in tho very liheral payment
or these hordes of. poor women, which
imparts to the Capitol a certain poor
house appearance, very suggestivo of
Hie future condition of tho Common
wealth under tho persistent legislation
or our modern solons 1
Tho Senators and Representatives be
ing paid by tho day, it will bo necessary
to limit tho duration or tho Legislative
sessions, to wit: "Tho Legislature
shall meet on tho first Tuesday or Jan
uary In overy year, uuh'ss hooner con
veued by tho Governor, und shall tor-
miuato Its sessions on or before thirty
first of March following."
The following threo amendments are
Intended to put un elfectivo check upon
the local legislation which has become
tho main suurco of corruption in our
State Legislature:
"The Legislature shall not havo pow
er to enact laws annulling tho contract
of marriage in any case whatever.''
"No corporate body shall hereafter
bo created, renowed or extended, or the
charter thereor umendtd, without six
months previous public notico of the
application for tho samo, In such man-
ner as shall bo prescribed by law. and
tho said notico shall contain a copy of
tno charter or amendment to tho char
ter to bo applied for."
"No local law shall bo enacted by the
Legislature except upon tho petition of
not less than two-thirds of tho taxable
inhabitants residing within tho district
for which tho law is asked : the said pe
tltion shall bo certified correct by the
President Judgo of tho Court or Quar
tor Sosslons having Jurisdiction over
tho district aforesaid."
Tho twenty-third section of tho nrtl-
cle of tho present Constitution Bhoulil bo
so amended as to require two-thirds of
an we members constituting the body of
each House to pass a bill over the Gov
ernor's veto. This amendment will
strengthen tho hands of tho executive j
will render Ineffective the tricks of the
artful dodgersand will carry out the real
Intent of a two-third voto.
The Ideas contained In the above pro
posed amendments, will I believe covor
nearly tho wholo ground of tho Logls
latlvo reform suggested by tho many
practical dofocts which havo marred
Legislation under tho provisions or tho
presont Constitution. "Junius."
